577: I Wish It Were Cheaper to Be My Sister’s Keeper | Feedback Friday
Your narcissistic sister with special needs thinks nothing of "borrowing" thousands of dollars from you to invest in every sure-to-lose scam that comes her way, and now she wants to "borrow" more to check herself into an assisted care facility (which would make your life easier if you knew that's where the money was actually going). What should you do? This and more here on Feedback Friday!
And in case you didn't already know it, Jordan Harbinger ( [@JordanHarbinger] (https://twitter.com/JordanHarbinger) ) and Gabriel Mizrahi ( [@GabeMizrahi] (https://twitter.com/GabeMizrahi) ) banter and take your comments and questions for Feedback Friday right here every week!

On This Week's Feedback Friday, We Discuss:
<ul> <li>Your narcissistic sister with special needs thinks nothing of "borrowing" thousands of dollars from you to invest in every scam that comes her way, and now she wants to "borrow" more to check herself into an assisted care facility. What should you do? [Thanks to cult and scam expert [Dr. Steven Hassan] (https://www.jordanharbinger.com/steven-hassan-combating-cult-mind-control-part-one/) for his help with this one!]</li> <li>You moved back home to accept what turned out to be a crummy job. The good news: your old, better-paying job in a city you actually like wants you back. The bad news: your girlfriend might not be able to make the move with you for a year and a half. Should you stay or should you go?</li> <li>Your brother and his wife are lazy, negligent parents to your nieces, aged four and six, allowing them free range of the neighborhood until 11 p.m. You fear for the children's safety, but you're not sure how to bring up solutions without starting a huge hullabaloo.</li> <li>You strive for excellence in all you do, but you want to do a lot. A wide range of hobbies keep you mentally stimulated, but you don't feel like you're able to focus on any one thing in order to excel. Is now the time to switch gears and leave some of your interests by the wayside to really shine at your career?</li> <li>Your little brother gets bad anxiety and overreacts to everything. You know that therapy could really improve his quality of life, but your mother is involved in politics and worries about what effect this would have on her image. How can you convince your parents to get your little brother therapy without it sounding like they're failing as parents? [Thanks to clinical psychologist [Dr. Erin Margolis] (https://www.mythrivepsychology.com/erin-margolis-psyd) for helping us with this one!]</li> <li>Have any questions, comments, or stories you'd like to share with us?

Benjamin Hardy ( [@BenjaminPHardy] (https://twitter.com/BenjaminPHardy) ) is an organizational psychologist and author of books about [willpower] (https://www.amazon.com/Willpower-Doesnt-Work-Discover-Success/dp/0316441325/?tag=jordanharbing-20) , [self-limiting beliefs] (https://www.amazon.com/Personality-Isnt-Permanent-Self-Limiting-Beliefs/dp/0593083318/?tag=jordanharbing-20) , and [teamwork] (https://www.amazon.com/Who-Not-How-Accelerating-Teamwork/dp/1401960588/?tag=jordanharbing-20) . His latest offering (co-authored with Dan Sullivan), is [The Gap and the Gain: The High Achievers' Guide to Happiness, Confidence, and Success] (https://www.amazon.com/Gap-Gain-Achievers-Happiness-Confidence/dp/1401964362/?tag=jordanharbing-20) .
What We Discuss with Benjamin Hardy:
---If you measure your current self against your ideal (often chosen and defined by other people rather than yourself), you’ll never be happy because there will always be a gap. Unsuccessful people primarily focus on this (but we all wind up here sometimes).
---If you measure your current self against your previous self — and notice the gain you've made between yesterday and today — you’ll experience happiness, satisfaction, and confidence. The most successful people understand this.
---The difference between ideals (general, immeasurable, and constantly changing) and goals (specific, measurable, and time-bound) -- and why your ideals shouldn't be your benchmark for achievement, but merely the source from which your goals are inspired.
---How you can weed out the arbitrary reference points with which you've been burdened by external sources and choose ones that are actually meaningful -- not just constant reminders of what you don't have.
---How the increased confidence that comes from living in the gain allows you to set bigger and more imaginative goals to truly tailor the fabric of your own life.
---And much more...

574: Can There Be Merit in the Extramarital? | Feedback Friday
You've been secretly chatting with an old flame whose torch you still carry, and you even met in person to discover that these feelings are mutual. But there's a big hitch: while you're now single again, she's in what seems to be an otherwise happy marriage and is mother to three. Now you feel frustrated, jealous, and even heartbroken because you can't be with her. Or can you? We'll try to help you find answers to this and more here on Feedback Friday!
And in case you didn't already know it, Jordan Harbinger ( [@JordanHarbinger] (https://twitter.com/JordanHarbinger) ) and Gabriel Mizrahi ( [@GabeMizrahi] (https://twitter.com/GabeMizrahi) ) banter and take your comments and questions for Feedback Friday right here every week!

On This Week's Feedback Friday, We Discuss:
<ul> <li>Rekindling with an old flame whose feelings are said to be mutual should fill you with joy, but her current marriage to another man and motherhood to his children is a bit of a downer. Can there be merit in pursuing something...extramarital?</li> <li>You share custody of two children with a narcissistic ex -- one is hers by a father who was out of the picture by the time you came along, and the other was adopted. The problem: she shamelessly plays favorites and clearly favors her biological kid. Are you hurting your adopted child by allowing her to go to your toxic ex's every other week?</li> <li>You're blind and working toward certification in a well-paying field, but it involves visual math concepts and a lot of the instructional material is inaccessible. On the other hand, your interest in languages makes a career as an interpreter appealing -- and it's much easier to accomplish. Should you finish the certification you've spent so much time and money pursuing, or just cut your losses and take the lower-paying but potentially more satisfying path?</li> <li>You have well-off parents who let you live rent-free in a house they own while you finish school, but you think your roommate may be taking advantage of the situation by mooching free food without asking and even offering it to guests. What can you do to set better boundaries without creating an awkward living environment?</li> <li>Working the night shift doing repetitive work wasn't really what you signed on for, so you've been looking for a new job. Now you've been informed you're on deck for training in a more challenging task that's more up your alley, but you're not sure you can work three more months of overnights before this is slated to happen. What are your best options here?</li> <li>Have any questions, comments, or stories you'd like to share with us?

David Buss ( [@profdavidbuss] (https://twitter.com/profdavidbuss) ) is considered the world’s leading scientific expert on the evolutionary psychology of human mating strategies. He is the author of several books on the subject, most recently [When Men Behave Badly: The Hidden Roots of Sexual Deception, Harassment, and Assault] (https://www.amazon.com/When-Men-Behave-Badly-Harassment/dp/0316419354/?tag=jordanharbing-20) .
What We Discuss with David Buss:
---Why, from an evolutionary standpoint, the reproductive interests of males and females sometimes diverge.
---Why metabolizing alcohol differently makes women more susceptible to an expectation of bonding (and how some men exploit this).
---The Dark Triad traits that mark the men most likely to have short-term relationships and cheat.
---How do women use active signaling to show they're more open to short-term relationships?
---She's not playing hard to get. If she rejects you softly, it isn't an invitation to try harder -- it's a survival tactic meant to avoid prompting a violent reaction.

What We Discuss with Tamer Elnoury:
---What unique psychological skills (and desire for thrills) drew Tamer to the exciting and dangerous life of undercover law enforcement work?
---Why, when working undercover, you're only as good as your informant.
---How an agent is trained to work undercover (and why the FBI undercover school only has a 50 percent graduation rate).

571: Pastor Past Makes You An Outcast | Feedback Friday
As an exemplary member of the clergy for 29 years, you'd think honesty to your superiors would be rewarded unconditionally. Alas, when you disclosed a need to seek counseling during a rough patch between you and your spouse (which resulted in a stronger relationship), you were unceremoniously booted from your position. Now you can't find work at another church because you've been unfairly branded a pariah among those of your faith, and you can't find a job among the secular because your clerical past seems to be a turn-off to potential employers. What can you do? We'll try to find an answer to this and more here on Feedback Friday!

Yet she's never hesitated to call you when she needs help. Is it unreasonable to cut toxic family members out of your life?</li> <li>You're a fully booked hairstylist at your sister-in-law's salon, and feel it's time to branch out on your own after 20 years. But you'd be bringing along another fully booked stylist, which would ultimately hurt your sister-in-law's business. Is there a way to follow opportunity without leaving family in the lurch?</li> <li>You love your job, but you find the constant interruptions that come with it challenging your ability to stay on task. What can you do to stay focused?</li> <li>You run a junior developer meetup; most people come through, build technical and interpersonal confidence, and leave when they get jobs, but there are some people who have been coming back week after week for years. These folks are generally technically proficient, but lack in the social skills department. How can you proactively add social skills training without coming across as some kind of jerk?</li> <li>Have any questions, comments, or stories you'd like to share with us?

---Who stole $10 million in nuts (specifically almonds and pistachios) from California's Central Valley farmers -- and why?
---Why are nuts (and prepackaged food in general) such ideal targets for theft, and how do current security protocols make it so temptingly easy for thieves with the means to haul them away?

On This Week's Feedback Friday, We Discuss:
---Should you delay career training or investing in yourself because it will take "too long?"
---Should you cut the half-sister who manipulates your family out of your life, or should you keep trying to build a relationship with her for your father's sake?
---To an outside observer, you appear to have a perfect life. But here's the secret you haven't told anyone: you're a high-functioning alcoholic. How do you even start dealing with this?
---Marrying a successful businessperson will allow you to retire from a job you don't really want and pursue your own interests.

How can you be sure you're spending all of this "free" time wisely and with purpose?

562: Old Ex-Con Mister Eloped with My Young Sister | Feedback Friday
Your family helped a 62-year-old convict who was "wrongfully convicted" of the statutory rape of his stepdaughter get back on his feet -- until he went off and eloped with your 23-year-old sister. Now that conviction seems like it might not have been so wrongful after all, and you're wondering how you can protect your sister if he's just been on the hunt for another victim. We'll try to help find answers to this and more here on Feedback Friday!
And in case you didn't already know it, Jordan Harbinger ( [@JordanHarbinger] (https://twitter.com/JordanHarbinger) ) and Gabriel Mizrahi ( [@GabeMizrahi] (https://twitter.com/GabeMizrahi) ) banter and take your comments and questions for Feedback Friday right here every week! If you want us to answer your question, register your feedback, or tell your story on one of our upcoming weekly Feedback Friday episodes, drop us a line at [friday@jordanharbinger.com] (mailto:friday@jordanharbinger.com) .

On This Week's Feedback Friday, We Discuss:
<ul> <li>Why did our advice to the job negotiator in [episode 553] (https://www.jordanharbinger.com/is-friends-fiance-despotic-or-simply-erotic-feedback-friday/) seem counter to our usual stance on negotiation?</li> <li>How can you make sure your 23-year-old sister is safe now that she's eloped with a 62-year-old ex-con?</li> <li>You're vaccinated and set to be the maid of honor at a wedding, but you're uneasy because the groom's family doesn't even believe in COVID -- and will be taking zero precautions to protect themselves and others (in spite of the recent surge in delta variant deaths). How do you express your concerns to the bride-to-be without losing your lifelong friend?</li> <li>You're a busy stay-at-home mom and newly full-time student trying to stay focused, but your husband has gotten in the habit of calling you from work -- sometimes for an hour at a time. Is there a nice way to convey that when he's working, you're working, too, and he should reserve these calls for emergencies?</li> <li>Your teen daughter suffered a brain injury that has left her with daily headaches, nausea, dizziness, and head fog. Now she's under pressure to apply to colleges, but she's angry and behaving like a victim instead of doing the necessary work to regain her cognitive performance. How can you help her make progress instead of enabling her inaction?</li> <li>You're eager to start your own business as a wedding coordinator after hiring one for your own wedding and realizing your company vastly underpays you. Is there a protocol for asking this person for advice even though they would technically be your competition?</li> <li>Have any questions, comments, or stories you'd like to share with us? Drop us a line at [friday@jordanharbinger.com] (mailto:friday@jordanharbinger.com) !</li> <li>Connect with Jordan on Twitter at [@JordanHarbinger] (https://twitter.com/JordanHarbinger) and Instagram at [@jordanharbinger] (https://www.instagram.com/jordanharbinger) .</li> <li>Connect with Gabriel on Twitter at <a href="https://twitter.com/GabeMizrahi"...

---How do you break off a friendship with someone who's way more into it than you are without hurting their feelings? [Many thanks to [From Start-Up to Grown-Up] (https://www.amazon.com/Start-Up-Grown-Up-Grow-Leadership-Business-dp-1398601381/dp/1398601381/?tag=jordanharbing-20) author [Alisa Cohn] (https://twitter.com/AlisaCohn) for helping us answer this!]
